ARENTI PCIe USB 3.0 Type-E Expansion Card 2 in 1 accessory

SKU CH-SFDB-1D6JA

Adds a 20-pin USB 3.0 header and a Type-E USB-C header to a desktop via a PCIe x1 slot, delivering up to 5Gbps with a heatsink

  • Adds two front-panel USB headers from one PCIe x1 slot
  • Sustains 5 Gbps throughput with onboard heatsink
  • Fits PCIe 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0 slots up to x16
  • Works without extra power cables
  • Plug-and-play on Windows 10 and 11

Internal USB expansion for desktop builders

This PCIe add-in card converts a single x1 slot into one 20-pin USB 3.0 header and one Type-E USB-C header for front-panel connectivity. It targets system integrators and enthusiasts adding modern USB ports to a standard desktop chassis. The card fits PCIe 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0 slots at x1, x4, x8 or x16 widths and includes a full-size bracket.

Dual headers at 5Gbps with passive cooling

The onboard chipset and heatsink sustain 5Gbps transfer rates across both internal headers during prolonged workloads. No external power connector is required, so the card draws all power from the slot itself. It provides exactly two internal connections and cannot drive external devices directly.

Windows 10 and 11 plug-and-play

Native driver support begins with Windows 8.x and continues through Windows 11 and Server 2012 to 2022. Older releases such as Windows 7, Vista, XP and Server 2003 need a manual driver install. The card does not support legacy PCI slots.
